Ultimately, as long as you stick religiously to high-quality motor oil, it really doesn't matter the brand. Some people swear by one or another. I imagine that keeping one company's enzymes in your engine is better than keeping a whole bunch of different ones for the sake of consistency, but there is not enough conclusive evidence to say that one major brand of oil will give you substantially more miles than another. There are too many variables—driving style, performance modifications, amount of driving per day, type of gasoline used, when the oil is changed, whether the car is a track racer or a daily driver—to test this effectively. I'm sure dozens of brand loyalists will disagree with me and start arguing over which brand is better, but the truth is that there are several good brands out there, and they will all help your car last a very long time.
